FunGEn 0.4.3 was uninstallable from hackage for a long time (and no-one noticed). Now, thanks to gelisam's bug report and some further cleanup work, I'm happy to announce that FunGEn 0.4.6 is available! I've also moved it from darcs hub to github.
FunGEn (Functional Game Engine) is a BSD-licensed, cross-platform, OpenGL/GLUT-based, non-FRP game engine/framework written in Haskell. Created by Andre Furtado in 2002, it's the oldest Haskell game engine, and with very few dependencies and two example games, it's one of the easiest ways to get started with Haskell game development. It provides:
- Initialization, updating, removing, rendering and grouping routines for game objects - Definition of a game background (or map), including texture-based maps and tile maps - Reading and interpretation of the player's keyboard and mouse input - Collision detection - Time-based functions and predefined game actions - Loading and displaying of 24-bit bitmap files - Some debugging and game performance evaluation facilities
If you'd like to take over this package and run with it, or co-maintain, contact me.
Best! -Simon
